Wish the stealth component worked alot better so could play the levels with different styles but we all know how that is.
I'm finding that there's a huge amount of replay value just trying to get a Top 5 score for each mission. The 11 missions can be pretty much breezed through when you use all of the equipment at your disposal but when you go for scores you'll find yourself having a much harder time because you'll need to restrict your explosives use, and using an mg or pistol is just throwing points away. Play it like that and each mission lasts well over an hour as they become almost like a puzzle as you work how how to eke as many points out of every enemy encounter as possible.
Do that, playing on Sniper Elite difficulty, trying to get as many headshots at the greatest distance, and you'll see not just how much slower and more careful you'll play but how tense and satisfying it can be to complete a mission making a kill with every single bullet. It's not easy, and every rushed missed shot is gutting because you know you'll lose your bonus 'consecutive kill' score for your next shot.
I've clocked up well over 70 hours on the game so far and each time I tackle a mission I'm either finding some new way to get more points or just trying to perfect what I think is the perfect run through.
